Of course, since most poor folks in America are white, and since the people who own our justice system, people like the Kochs visa vi ALEC, etc., hate poor people regardless of color, a poor white person doesnt stand much of a chance in our justice system either.
America is broken and broken badly, that we even have to have a debate about how white people receive preferential treatment and how spoiled they are and how childish they would act if they didn't get said preferential treatment, is silly...
